After returning to Sifang City, Lu Yao and his party received a warm welcome.

Bart Frye and Noland kept matters related to God of Yao strictly confidential. Therefore, except for the gods and the apostles, the vast majority of people in the Four Square Kingdoms do not know that Norland has become one of their own.

Most people think that Zhi Chong led the corpse demon soldiers of Niu Sansi's team to fight wits and bravely with the enemy in the Norland territory, and escaped dangerously after a roundabout battle.

Lu Yao still covered his head with a hood as Xiaozhi usually did, to avoid attracting attention.

But many residents still recognized him at a glance and greeted him warmly.

"Mr. Xiaozhi is back? I heard that you have made great achievements this time. It's amazing!"

"Mr. Xiaozhi, I have a batch of high-quality wood here. If you need it, you can come and get it at any time. I will calculate the cheapest price for you."

"Mr. Xiaozhi, thank you for your help last time. I found these wild eggs in the wild. You can cook them and eat them."

Judging from everyone's attitude, the monster residents of Sifang City not only approve of Zhi Chong, but also have a good reputation. For a hundred years, everyone has regarded Xiaozhi as a part of this city.

When there is free time, the intelligent insects will also give everyone the help they can, reading and explaining, making and repairing various tools, and they can be regarded as local well-known inventors and scholars.

Its job is to be the city hall clerk.

Zhi Chong lives in a small house not far from the city hall. The place is square and square, completely made of stone, damp and cold, but the wooden beds, cabinets, and bookshelves inside are all neat and clean, and it can be seen that they are cleaned frequently.

There are many books and parchment scrolls on the bookshelves, and many books have been turned to the point of becoming soft. It can be seen that the intelligent insects have been studying the knowledge of the Yao people's writing, culture and history.

Lu Yao suddenly noticed that there was a clean white feather in the gap under the wooden door.

Feathers have black writing.

He picked it up and took a look.

It says.

The host is waiting for you.

Lu Yao couldn't tell what kind of text it was. In short, it became the information that came to mind at a glance, which probably has something to do with his godhead authority. It saves a lot of trouble.

Who is this person who sent the letter to the intelligent insect?

Lu Yao entered detective mode.

He inspected the sapient's cramped room.

The most valuable property of the intelligent insects are the books on the bookshelf. In addition, it has three identical dark-colored robes, two old backpacks, some crude underwear, and strange wooden products piled up in the corner... The house is completely empty.

The person who left the feather should not want people to know that he has private contact with the intelligent insect. And the meeting place is in the host road outside the city, which means that the other party is probably also from Sifang City.

This is a bit strange.

People in the city have long been accustomed to the existence of the sapient, and regard it as a part of this place, and the sapient is also the clerk of the city hall, which belongs to the official staff.

Why did the commenter make an appointment to meet outside in this way?

Lu Yao's eyes sharpened.

The identity of the person who kept the feathers is questionable.

He was a little excited for a while.

I didn't expect to be able to solve a case by the way when I went shopping in the virtual world for the first time.

Lu Yao put away his feathers and went out of the city to the east.

Sifang City has four roads in the southeast, north, and west. At the end of the east road is the passage on the third and fourth floors, which is also the area under the jurisdiction of Niu Sansi. The south, north, and north correspond to three ancient cracks leading to the fifth floor.

Lu Yao was walking on the east road.

The road here has been remodeled and widened, and has become smooth and standardized. From time to time, a large amount of steam can be seen spewing out a large amount of steam, rumbling through the middle of the road.

The steam carriage retains the iron horse head of the past, but it has been transformed into a raised horse head relief on the cuboid steam stove, which has the smell of a car logo.

The wheel hub of the carriage is very wide, and when it turns, it will leave clear ruts on the ground, and the car body itself is not very stable, accompanied by the sound of puffing and metal friction.

Whenever a train and carriage pass by, it will bring loud and persistent noise.

As Lu Yao walked and watched, the Sifang City behind him was getting farther and farther away, and the black passage like a whirlpool at the end was getting closer and closer.

The abyss passage in the distance is like a small black hole, and he can see strands of clear space twisting above it, reminding him of the refraction and distortion formed by air under high temperature.

When passing by a certain place, a voice came from the side: "Are you here?"

Lu Yao looked in the direction of the sound source.

Under a tree on the left side of the road, there is a man of medium build. Wearing a crumpled linen coat, with a smile on his face, he may be around thirty years old.

Lu Yao checked the opponent's data panel.

This is a [Abyss Wanderer], level LV4, named Pitts, and the only ability is [Trade].

"Mr. Xiaozhi, I heard that you became a hero this time. Congratulations."

Pizzi stood up, patted the dust on his body, and bowed slightly: "The reason why I am in such a hurry to deliver the letter to you is because resellers are becoming more and more rampant, and the phenomenon of shoddy goods is far beyond the past. In order to better promote Trading, His Excellency the Duke hopes to formally establish trade relations with the Four Kingdoms."

"Your identity is also very important now. If you talk by your side, we will go much smoother."

"The Duke also said that if you feel unsatisfactory here, you are welcome to go to Ertang Jialan at any time."

Lu Yao thought he was a good guy.

Smart insects are quite popular, not only related to Noland, but also the Duke of Black Heart is throwing an olive branch.

However, Lu Yao has already figured out a way on the way.

Don't try to test each other, that's not what he's good at, and it's troublesome to do it.

Straight punch straight to the face!

This punch, let me ask you if you can take it or not.

"Since it is a formal cooperation, I will also make a formal inquiry. What do you want and what can you give us?"

Lu Yao said.

This rhetorical question stunned the other party for a moment.

Then Pitts thought for a while, and said cautiously and seriously: "We will provide a large number of Almighty Stones with guaranteed quality, and give the most favorable price in the market in Sifang Kingdom. With the output of Ertang Jialan, these high-quality Almighty Stones Stone is a very high-quality strategic resource whether it is used to make props or consume it in battle."

"We hope that the Sifang Kingdom will make a formal statement to clean up those Erdao dealers who sell everywhere under the name of Ertang Jialan in private. Most of these vendors are liars. Their existence is not only a fraud to you, but also a damage to Ertang Jialan's reputation. .

"Especially the gold plate merchants who belong to the demigod Puxi. They discount the Ertang Jialan, the mage's tower, and the people's stables in various places. They shoddy everywhere and sell fakes at high prices. The trading environment on the fifth floor is harsh. It can be said that it was made by them..."

Lu Yao thought the taste was wrong.

Thought there was an inner ghost.

As a result, you told me that it was a fraud by a multinational group?

"Actually, before this, many gold plate merchants falsely claimed that they were from the Sifang Kingdom, that they were caravans from the Sifang Kingdom to the fifth floor, reselling garlic, potatoes, grapes, sweet potatoes, and refreshing mint...Of course, those goods are Both true and false."

Piz smiled wryly: "If you hadn't officially entered the fifth floor this time, their tricks might still fool a lot of people."

Lu Yao was furious.

Is there still a king's law?

Is there still a law?

What is the name of this leader? Puxi must be severely punished!

But Lu Yao quickly calmed down again.

its not right.

The demigods on the fifth floor are not idiots, how could they be so fooled by this Puxi?

Regarding this point, Pizzi explained: "Although Puxi's strength is rare among the fifth-level demigods, he specifically targets ordinary people and low-level superhumans. He has a very special ability called [Golden Plate Ceremony]. "

"This ability can be used to share the power of demagogy with the gold plate merchants under him by holding a ceremony. Both ordinary people and extraordinary people will be affected to some extent."

"At the same time, Puxi will also use various means to deliberately lend props or various resources, let the borrowers pledge their lives and freedom, and then let them serve him and become his gold plate merchants... Puxi has been secretly asking all parties It is very difficult to deal with the infiltration of forces."

"My lord duke has been chasing Puxi, but he has no territory. He has been wandering around for a long time, and will run away if he finds something wrong. His lord duke hopes to get the formal cooperation of the Sifang Kingdom this time. On the one hand, he will establish a long-term formal trade. Also boycott and arrest Puxi..."

Lu Yao's consciousness entered the background of the world, and began to search for information about this Puxi.

After a search, it was found that there was no such person.

There is no such demigod on the fifth floor.

Could it be a pseudonym?

Lu Yao asked Pitts again.

The abyss wanderer thought for a while: "I heard that Puxi seems to have entered the fifth floor along the gap. I really haven't heard about his deeds in the past."

"As far as we know, Puxi appeared about three hundred years ago. He kept spinning two golden dice in his hand, wrapped his whole body in a thick robe, held a walking stick that looked like a pickaxe, and covered his face. A smooth brass mask with no facial features, and a large luggage with a golden dial on its back."

"Puxi also sold and bought props from the demigods at the beginning, the most sold were golden dice, and he also bought the fire of faith... I don't know more, he is a quite mysterious demigod."

"Many people have established contact with him because of the golden plate ceremony, even if they don't need to meet, they can communicate with him through the ceremony and trade with him."

Lu Yao captured key words.

Golden dice, golden turntable.

Lu Yao was very impressed with these two gold series props.

Since he entered the simulator, he has seen golden dice everywhere. This item itself has the attributes of gambling and fraud.

It seems that Puxi has some connection with the golden dice series props.

Lu Yao decided to personally take action to arrest Puxi, the leader of the huge fraud gang.

We must find out what happened, and give the people of Abyss a bright and sunny day!
